A series of twelve photographs displaying a woman wearing origami sculptures as partial masks. The sculptures include paper cranes, frogs, boxes, cootie catchers, and butterflies. Each origami sculpture is printed with a photograph of one or more of the artist’s facial features. She holds the masks so that the printed feature covers that portion of her face.

A compilation of several photographs in a four by four grid taken during the artist’s performance with 'skin' suits (tan body suits). The artist’s body is obscured by a black bodysuit, which blends into the black backdrop seamlessly. She poses dynamically, draping the tan body suit over herself, creating twisted, abstract poses. These poses express movement and gestures, reminiscent of letters in a written language. Attached to some of the poses, and detached from others, are paper mache masks of the artist’s face.

A series of images displays the sequence of a rice paper mask crumbling away from a woman’s face. In the first image, the artist holds a gray rice-paper mask over her face. Throughout the series of images, she presses the mask to her face repeatedly as the mask crumbles into smaller and smaller pieces. It crumbles away at her touch, even as she attempts to hold it to her face. Throughout the series, the mask becomes more fragmented. In the last image, the mask falls away displaying the artist’s face.

A photograph of a woman wearing an abstracted paper mache mask. The mask is a self portrait, featuring the facial features (eyes, eyebrows, nose, and lips) of the artist as printed photographs, creating an uncannily realistic appearance. The features on the mask are distorted and rearranged, illustrating the piece’s title, “Feeling Discombobulated.”

A series of six images of a portrait of a woman wearing paper mache masks with realistic human features in front of a white background.
